Aqua-Soft ForumsHi, I was wondering if it was possible to change the linking to the music store page to another page in iTunes so that it's possible to view any page within iTunes...so it views like Safari-style.
Bye & thanks,

[request] Itunes Possibility...
i put on their forums to have a web browser in iTunes, i dont think they will add one since mac people have safari. oh well.
Whose forum are you talking about?
How about an add-on for Windows' iTunes so you can view any website within iTunes so you can view the buttons, drop-down menus, etc like Safari but viewable in Windows.

the official iTunes forums, i put in a feature request
yeah that would be good... but i think it's already possible. i think i remember someone did that and made it say he had a celeb playlist. i will search the forums and edit my post and add a link to the thread.
i can change the page it points to (instead of the music store) but giving u an address bar for normal surfing would a difficult.
theunknown,
Could you share more about how you changed the page it points to and if the page looks like how Safari displays it...you know, with the gumdrop buttons and aquafied stuff?
I read somewhere that with a simple hex editor, you can change the url link. I downloaded a hex editor and saw that there are so many urls and I don't know which one to look for to replace with my own.
Bye & take care,
Nando
A simple fix for the "Address Bar" would be to make a webpage with a form where you can just type in the URL you want to reach and etc..
Or you could have a frame or something like that on top to let you browse.
Did you try making it your default HTML viewer... maybe that would work.
Why not just ask for a windows port of safari?
well if we try all urls and find which one is for the apple store we can replace it. btw the addres bar thing... there is already one that comes with kazaa lite.

rofl...never happen
i did manage to change to URL itunes goes to for its music store, however there appears to be some form of built in security to prevent this exact thing from happening (i now get an error saying connection problems). so this is gonna be much harder than i previously thought. but when and if i have absolutely nothing else to do, ill see what i conjure up.
sry 4 gettin your hopes up

What was the URL you changed?
first things first, u need an IP packet sniffer. open up the sniffer and itunes, start the sniffer logging and the go and connect to the itunes music store. wait untill the store loads and stop the sniffer logging. have a look for the address that is most common, resolve it to a URL, and your done. if i remember correctly that URL appears 3 times in the HEX and its the third of the three u want.
however if u can wait about six hours 4 me to get home, ill put the exact url and the OFFSET youll find it at right here.

Why not? You're using iTunes on your PC aren't you?

Safari on PC would not benefit Apple in anyway. With iTunes they are trying to promote their Music Store, so that makes sense. But Safari won't do any good for Apple on PC.
True, but by that same argument, Safari isn't doing Apple much good on Macs either. It isn't promoting anything, it's free, and it seems they have programmers that can code for Windows (iTunes). So why not? It would probably help Apple in the long run. Someone could try Safari on Windows and say to themselves, "Hey, this is a kick ass web browser. If this came from Apple, then I bet there's more programs like it for Macs. I think I'll check out Macs next time I'm in the store." And as most of us know, once you see one in person, it's really hard to resist liking them.
I know, it's far fetched. I am just wishfully thinking....
I can see wat ur sayin Nephilim, but a good browser for macs encourages ppl 2 buy a mac, so they can use the browser.
a good browser for pc's means ppl will buy pc's for the browser/wont bother buyin a mac for the browser.
obviously theres a lot more to a comp than a browser, but i dont think it would benefit mac. (i would love 2 use safari tho)
:canadian: keep wishin...
...keep waitin :pchawk:

Well, it does promote the Macs! and so does Panther and the iLife apps etc. "Buy a Mac, the only computer that runs Safari, iTunes, iPhoto, ....". If they give you a bigger portion of Apple apps, then you have less reasons to switch to a Mac.
There's no way Safari can compete with the likes of Internet Explorer and Mozilla. See what happened to Netscape.....
Safari on Win32 = never happen.
